Misery
Estrela Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Glass tears fall down her face. they shatter silently as they hit the floor, she's screaming "I can't live anymore swimming through these mirrors, surrounded by your beautiful reflection." We spent the night both bleeding hearts Onto these sheets that we both washed away, so far away. Don't turn out the light, tonight i'm singing to the shadows. And i sing , this is misery for me, this is misery for me. Misery formed me. As the sun dies down tonight will you fall away from yourself? My home is not with you, these are my regrets
